Design & Functionality
The FPW flowmeter operates through a paddle rotor installed directly within the pipeline. As fluid flows through the pipe, it rotates the paddle wheel. The rotational speed corresponds directly to the velocity of the fluid, enabling accurate flow monitoring.
An inductive sensor detects the movement of the rotor and converts it into electrical output signals that can be integrated into monitoring systems or process control units. This design ensures consistent measurement performance while minimizing maintenance requirements.
Total Crossed Beams
The rotor-based sensing mechanism provides stable measurement performance across varying flow velocities. The measurement system continuously detects the rotor movement, ensuring reliable data collection across the operational flow range.
Beam Pitch Options
The FPW series supports several installation configurations depending on pipeline structure and connection method. The sensor can be installed using drilling adapters, threaded fittings, welded connections, or bonded plastic T-pieces, enabling flexible integration into existing systems.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The internal sensing technology ensures the rotational movement of the paddle wheel remains synchronized with the flow velocity of the liquid. This mechanical synchronization enables consistent measurement accuracy without complex calibration procedures.
Operational Advantages
The FPW vane flowmeter provides an economical and efficient solution for industries that require reliable monitoring of non-conductive liquids. Its simple mechanical construction offers long operational life and stable performance.
Industries such as water treatment, agriculture, food processing, paper manufacturing, energy production, and mining commonly rely on this type of flow monitoring technology to maintain consistent system operation and prevent flow inefficiencies.
